What Do Iowa Moms REALLY Want for Mother's Day This Year?

Cards and flowers - those are the standard Mother's Day gifts that people give their moms each year. But what do moms really want? According to a new survey, the answer is sleep!

SleepZoo asked 1,200 U.S. moms what they would like for Mother's Day this year, and the #1 answer was "a good night’s sleep.” 37% of moms want sleep, 26% say they'd like a “day off from parenting to relax,” and 13% would enjoy a nice dinner date. Why did so many moms choose sleep? Probably because 31% of moms said they couldn’t remember the last time they slept a full 8 hours. I believe it!

We thought it would be fun to find out what moms here in Eastern Iowa would like for Mother's Day this year. Here are some of the results:

Laurie Murphy - "This is about the 5th year that I have sent my mom a priority mail package of Morel Mushrooms to Arizona. She likes it much better than a store bought gift."
